Word Limit: · Learning Contract: 1,500 words (Plus or minus 10%) · Project Report: 2,500 words (Plus or minus 10%) Learning outcomes assessed: 1. Build a portfolio of evidence using a range of methodologies and activities (log books; critical incident diaries; employer or supervisor feedback) 2. Identify and articulate the development of work related skills mapped to evidence drawn from either the project or placement. 3. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the background and context relative to the chosen project or placement opportunity. 4. Evaluate the effectiveness of preparation and planning undertaken prior to the placement or project implementation. This coursework is worth 100 % of the total marks for this module. Scenario You are required to complete a project portfolio containing the tasks outlined below. Please bear in mind that the tasks are generic for all projects types, but your learning contract will make the project particular to you and your programme. Therefore the area of the project will be agreed the module tutor/supervisor as per your programme in the Learning Contract (Task 1) according to your programme option. The Learning Contract, when complete, will be a form of written permission to undertake the project related tasks or research methods that you plan to undertake in order to carry out the project and compile the portfolio. The report (task 2) will normally focus on the experiences thrown up by the project, how you solved problems, improving practices over the period, or implemented a new process. Portfolio Assignment Task 1 You are required to complete the learning contract (see Appendix 1), agreed with the module tutor/supervisor. For detailed guidelines on learning contract, please refer to the module handbook and gsmlearn. PPDI5039 Project/Placement Design and Implementation Spring 2018 Coursework Brief GSM LONDON Page 4 of 10 Portfolio Assignment Task 2 After you have agreed and signed of your learning contract, you are to complete the project and write a project report which must focus on the following. 1. A brief background and context of the project being discussed and analysed; 10% of the task 2. To demonstrate trans-disciplinary models / theories to underpin your analysis; 15% of the task 3. To assess the project phases (preparation and implementation) and evaluate their effectiveness; 15% of the task 4. To discuss the skills that you developed to solve work based problems; 10% of the task 5. To analyse and evaluate the action you did / did not take and why; 20% of the task 6. What learning you took from the project by giving a portfolio of evidence (log books, critical incident diaries and feedback, to be included in the appendices). 30% of the task Total Marks for Assignment: 100 Guidelines Your report must be based on a work related problem / practice / product. A good report will do or contain the following elements: • demonstrate the process of experiential learning in the work based project; • be well-structured and presented (both report and a learning contract); • evidence a range of secondary research using texts, journals, magazines, newspapers, and computer based information sources; • analysis; • reflect upon the impact of the work based project and work based learning on your future career plans • be fully researched and provide references to both organizational data and academic theory, and experience and data arising from the project itself; • make explicit reference to relevant theories and relevant market data. • your report should be carefully presented; PPDI5039 Project/Placement Design and Implementation Spring 2018 Coursework Brief GSM LONDON Page 5 of 10 • optional appendices that give evidence of the experience having happened or other data sets that have been referred to and discussed in the report main body text. Note: Throughout the project you will be taking decision and acting to achieve the project ends. You are expected to be applying theory relevant to you discipline of field of study (that is, what you have been learning on your particular programme) to help you to justify what you do and to evaluate the outcome. You should therefore make sure you are familiar with your particular module handbook (available on the GSM Learn module on the relevant department section) and the guidance as to relevant literature and theory contained therein. Alternatively you may discuss this with you tutor as part of the Learning Contract negotiations or during sessions as the project unfolds.
